Among non-U.S. players, Andrei Kirilenko isn t one of the greatest scorers. Nene and Andrew Wiggins have more points in their careers than Kirilenko, for example.
Since 2000, however, few players have provided as much versatility as the Russian wing.
Kirilenko averaged 11.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 steals in a 797-game career. Those numbers are legitimately in a league of Kirilenko s own, per Stathead. AK47 paced the NBA with 3.3 blocks per game in 2004-05.
Additionally, he earned NBA All-Defensive honors three times and made the 2004 All-Star Game.
